I have to get some more blood tests and chest X-ray to eliminate other factors which he didn’t elaborate. I go back in 6 weeks.
As I read what I have written it sounds like he was not that good but I feel more comfortable now about things. He did talk about sensory neuropathy and I am a bit confused about the difference. Anyone have any ideas?

Hey suzyt,
Glad to see you got to see your neurologist. I copy and pasted this from the link below. The link is fairly comprehensive.
Type of Nerves
1. Motor
2. Sensory
3.Autonomic
Motor nerves control the movement of all muscles under conscious control, such as those used for walking, grasping things, or talking.
Sensory nerves transmit information such as the feeling of a light touch, temperature, or the pain from a cut.
Autonomic nerves control organs to regulate activities that people do not control consciously, such as breathing, digesting food, and heart and gland functions.
